Pan across Supernova Remnant N103B | Hubble

The supernova remnant N103B can be found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The elliptical-shaped gas cloud is the leftover of the past explosion and astronomers investigate it in the hope of finding the remains of the exploded star’s companion.

Distance: 150,000 light years

This pan shows N103B as well as the outskirts of the star cluster NGC 1850.
